Picking the right product

Match the joist size

Hangers are sized to the joist width and depth. Order to your timber schedule.

Restraint straps

Building regulations require lateral restraint in many situations; your design shows where.

In Northern Ireland building work follows the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland), with guidance in the Technical Booklets, and applications go to the council's building control team.
